When I go out antiquing, I usually end up at looking at old magazines or newspapers. I'll then usually end up buying the magazine (prices typically range from $1-20). Then, some of my favorite covers and ads end up on the wall. Here are some we have up in our current apartment. It's an affordable, unique way to decorate empty spaces in your living area!

| Needlecraft Magazine. The cover from March 1928. I love the illustration--so sweet. I actually received several copies from a museum I worked in a few years ago. This adorable cover hangs above our craft supplies. |

| Even in the heat of the summer, Campbell's Vegetable Soup is a prudent choice! An ad from Women's Home Companion, July 1927. We have this hanging in our kitchen, of course. |
 |
| So very persuasive. A close-up of the soup ad. |
 |
| James and I found this magazine cover at an antiques store in Essex, Vermont. One of Norman Rockwell's iconic drawings for The Saturday Evening Post. This was his April Fool's Day cover for 1943. Only $5 for an original cover! |
 |
| This isn't actually from a magazine, but it's still an advertisement sign from the late 1800's. This adorns a wall in our bathroom. |
That's all for now! :) Thanks for reading/viewing. Happy Easter!
